Surviving the end of the world

Now obviously, four seasons have officially become two seasons, and it's extreme, winter is damn cold, summer is hot as hell, but if you want to survive, you have to endure it.

Even though it was almost nine o'clock, the sky was only getting bright outside, and the inside of the house was also very dark. Even with the fire on, I could barely see.Fortunately, both Bai Jing and Chen Jin's eyesight is far better than that of ordinary people. Unless there is really no light at all, otherwise, their eyesight will not be affected.Chen Jin was wearing a thick padded jacket, sitting on the kang, and knitting a hat with wool. He didn't know how to do any fancy patterns, that is, ordinary plain stitches. Jin put two petals in his mouth, and on the stove beside the kang, a pot of soup with enough ingredients was about to boil. Bai Jing stuffed most of the oranges into his mouth, lifted the lid of the pot, and threw a handful of homemade oranges into it. wide powder.

Chen Jin was gesturing at the size of the hat, glanced at the pot, and said, "Okay, don't put anything in it for now, if you put it in again, it will overflow in a while!"

Reluctantly, Bai Jing put back the fried meatballs that he planned to put in, and took an orange from the side and peeled it.

The heated kang made by Chen Jin and the others is relatively large, and the two of them lay horizontally and vertically, unable to fall off even after rolling. At this moment, there are only a pile of bedding and clothes on the kang, just a few rolls of wool and a handful of sweater needles. In addition, there are all kinds of food, fruits taken out of the space, preserved fruits and jerky made by Chen Jin.Anyway, the two of them don't get off the kang now because they have nothing to do. They spend most of their time on the kang, and put everything they eat within easy reach. This made Bai Jing develop a not-so-good habit. Fortunately, Chen Jin had room to stuff food into his mouth. Otherwise, a foodie like this who would eat as much as he could without his stomach bulging would starve to death sooner or later.

But since it's not that they can't afford it, and they want to be together for the rest of their lives, Chen Jin is naturally indulgent towards Bai Jing, and Bai Jing doesn't eat alone, so whatever he gets, he has to share with Chen Jin. Unfortunately, Chen Jin Even though Jin made a little success in cultivation, his appetite did not increase significantly.

Chen Jin's hands are fast, the hat that has already been woven almost has already started to close the needle, this is to be sewn inside another hat, so that it will not be flooded, Bai Jing saw that Chen Jin had finished knitting the hat, took the To be honest, this hat is very rustic, but Bai Jing likes it very much. Wearing the hat, he smacked Chen Jin's face, and then said with a smile: "Ah Jin, come back and see again." Weave one and wear it yourself, we call it a couple hat, right!"

Chen Jin inserted the sweater needle into the ball of wool, then stuffed the ball of wool into a cloth bag hanging on one side, and said, "Yes! I'll knit later, there's still a lot of wool here, by the way, What color sweater do you like?"

"It's just the same as yours, Ah Jin!" Bai Jing quickly opened the cabinet next to the kang, and took out the bowls and chopsticks from inside. He was not afraid of being hot, so he directly filled two big bowls of soup and put them on the kang table , and poured a small half pot of pork knuckle soup from the large aluminum pot on one side into the soup pot, and threw some meat balls, fish balls and vegetable leaves into it.

Chen Jin happily enjoyed Bai Jing's service, took the chopsticks and started eating.There are some aniseed ingredients in the soup, so it is a bit spicy, but it is delicious in this way.

The two had just drank half a bowl of soup when there was a sound of cursing outside. Chen Jin and Bai Jing looked at each other and quickly ate up the soup in the bowl. After getting dressed, they opened the door and went out to see what is going on.

Li Liwen's father, Li Daxing, was standing there annoyed, silent, but there were some bloodstains on the ground, but very few, if you don't look carefully, you will almost ignore it. Li Daxing's wife is crying there: "How do you live these days? There are only a few chickens in the house, and half of them are dragged away by weasels. They are all hens that lay eggs. They have been raised for such a long time. My grandson wants to eat. I am reluctant, but it is cheap. Those damned weasels..."

It’s still early at this moment, and in this winter, there’s not much to do anyway, even if you can’t fall asleep, lying on the warm kang is comfortable, besides, in this winter, I’m already reluctant to eat much and exercise If you eat more, you will naturally consume more, so it is better to sleep in for a while, eat breakfast and save some food.

Li Liwen should have just woken up, and there was still some eye dropsy at the corners of his eyes. He wrapped his padded jacket tightly and understood what was going on. He didn't care to comfort his crying mother, so he walked to Li Daxing Beside him, he asked: "Father, I'm afraid that weasel has tasted the sweetness and will come again next time. We have to figure out a way. We can't feed them all the remaining chickens!"

Li Daxing stomped his feet vigorously, gritted his teeth, and said: "Before your mother said that you would keep those chickens in the house, you told your wife that they were dirty and tasted bad, so you refused to keep them, otherwise, there would be such a shit! "

There was some hesitation on Li Liwen's face, but seeing that Li Daxing's face was not good-looking, he had to reluctantly agree. In fact, he didn't pay much attention to it, but the key was to worry about his son who was less than six years old. I am always curious, if I provoke these chickens and get pecked, it will be called trouble. Moreover, the place where I live is not hygienic, and the children are prone to illness.At this moment, I had no choice but to comfort myself. After all, this winter is not like spring and summer, when bacteria are easy to breed. As long as you pay attention to it and clean it frequently, there should be no problem.

Li Daxing saw Chen Jin at this moment, forced a smile, and said hello. Chen Jin leaned over and said, "Brother Daxing, haven't you heard of weasels for many years? Why did they pop up again?" Already!"

Li Daxing sighed: "That's right! Now that people are hungry, weasels are naturally hungry too. They can't catch mice. When they are hungry, they naturally want to attack the chickens and ducks raised at home! Hey, now that weasels have come out, I don't know what to do." Will something come out!"

Chen Jin was stunned: "Anything else?"

Li Daxing put his hands in his sleeves and narrowed his eyes: "People of your generation don't know. I was not very old at that time. We had wild boars and even coyotes here! I remember when I was a child, the birth The team even organized people to hunt wild boars, but when I got older, I never saw them again!"

The older people who just heard the voice on the side also nodded repeatedly, with some worried expressions on their faces.

Thinking that good things don’t go out, bad things spread thousands of miles. Although the story hasn’t spread far and wide, within half a day, almost everyone in the village knows that there are weasels infested and stealing chickens, which makes the villagers nervous.Not to mention this time, even in the good years of the past few years, chickens and ducks are one of the most valued properties of rural people.Nowadays, there is no vegetable market, and food is insufficient. Most of the nutrition of the family depends on eggs and chicken and duck meat. In the past, some people came out to sell chickens every year in spring and autumn, but now they have to rely on their own food. Old hens hug their nests, so the value of chickens and ducks has increased a lot.Li Daxing's family lost three chickens at once. Such a big loss was enough to make their family unable to eat for a few days.No one wants to be next.

But this is also difficult. Originally, the whole family felt that there was not enough space to keep warm, and the smell in the house was not so good. Now if chickens and ducks are also kept in the house, it would be too much to suffer. Chickens and ducks are no different than others. They have wings. Even if they can't fly, they can always flop for a while. In order to prevent chickens and ducks from flying around, the villagers had to find wooden cages for nailing chickens.But after working hard for a while, everyone found that it was useless. Those weasels would always sneak in, kill the chickens in the cage while everyone was asleep, and then drag them away.One of the most important reasons that prevented the villagers from catching the weasel was that the house was too dark. Even if they heard the movement at night, they would not be able to see anything for a while after waking up, and it was too cold to get out of bed. Just put on your underwear and go after the weasel, don't catch yourself before you catch up.

The family at the head of the village was the most unlucky. They were woken up in the middle of the night and almost caught the weasel. As a result, the weasel farted before escaping, and almost killed the people in the house.

Everyone has nothing to do with these weasels who commit crimes continuously. They are unwilling to feed them domestic chickens and ducks, and they are reluctant to eat them at home. It is simply a headache.The people in the village once again thought of raising dogs. There were many dogs in the village before, but there was not enough food for people to eat. Adding another dog was really worried that they would not be able to afford it. Therefore, many people who raised dogs, no matter how reluctant they were, In the end, the domestic dog had to be killed, but now, if there was a watchdog, those weasels would not be so arrogant.

But after thinking about it, this matter can't be done in a while, after all, where can I get puppies now!

The few chickens that Chen Jin raised outside were almost eaten, and the big heads were still in the space, so there was no loss. Of course, the two chickens that she claimed to be keeping for the Chinese New Year were also taken away, and no one suspected anything. Everyone knows that Chen Jin's usual practice is to kill and eat all the chickens and ducks raised before the New Year, and then use the fertilized eggs to hatch new chickens and ducks, and then continue to raise them for a month or two. Then they started slaughtering one after another, but this year was a bit unlucky. When everyone asked Chen Jin if he would find a way to hatch the chicks first, Chen Jin just shook his head. It's just adding food to those weasels, wasting time and energy for nothing.

Although everyone is trying to find a way, the number of chickens in the village is still decreasing day by day. Many people gritted their teeth and would rather kill the weasels themselves. Anyway, in this weather, it won’t go bad if left alone. Everyone will kill them. The chicken was thrown directly into the boiled water and left outside for a while, then it froze into ice cubes. Presumably the weasel didn't have the strength to drag it away with the pot and the chicken.And some people who are more thoughtful have also started to think of weasels.There should be a lot of weasels, and the meat they catch can be eaten. Even if the skin can't be made into clothes, it will be much warmer as a scarf.Therefore, some young people began to find ways to track the traces left by the weasels and find their old dens.
